The battle area was filled with the roar of cannons, and the ground was full of flying rocks. Gu Wenjun's close cooperation between the armored troops, the air troops, and the MS troops had firmly entangled the MS piloted by Xiao Ran and the others. All kinds of 90mm bullets, missiles, and cannonballs came from the sky like a storm, roaring from all directions. The complete coverage of the firepower was so dense that it almost overturned a layer of the ground. The ground was also shrouded in a layer of hazy yellow dust that was dozens of meters high.
Gu Wenjun did not even consider engaging in a frontal melee with the six heretics. Every MS was weaving in and out of each other and moving quickly, constantly changing its position. The tanks further away, missile launchers, and aircraft in the sky were fully covering the area where the six heretics were located with firepower. Together with the MS that was the main body of the encirclement, they really did suppress the six heretics for a while, and there was no way to force them to take off under such circumstances.
Xiao Ran piloted the Black Heretic and used four Gatling Cannons to once again destroy all the missiles in the air. However, in the face of the cannonballs fired by the armored division's tanks, they could only respond by dodging. Fortunately, the airframes had flight backpacks on their backs. This allowed the six airframes to perform short and fast glides on the potholed ground under such dense firepower to dodge the attacks.
However, the intensity of the firepower was too terrifying. Even if the six of them were considered the best pilots, there would always be attacks that were so dense that they could not be dodged at all. At this time, even if the airframe was equipped with PS armor, no one would be willing to use the PS armor to withstand these attacks, even if the PS armor could withstand these attacks. However, the PS armor also had its own tolerance limit. The armor itself also had metal fatigue. If it received enough intensive attacks, the PS armor could not be completely immune to all the live ammunition attacks.
The six of them did not know how many times they had raised their shields and fired countless beams and cannons to counterattack. However, the MS-class that appeared today was completely different from the MS-class that they had fought yesterday. The performance of the MS-class mecha might not be much different. However, this Mech Pilot was not on the same level as the Mech Pilot they had met yesterday.
Michelle and Luca controlled their Mechs to stand back to back. They used the shield on their left hand to block in front of them. They cooperated well and attacked the MS that surrounded them. Nobody knew when the shields of the two Mechs became as bumpy as the ground. From time to time, sparks would appear on the fuselage.
"The movements of these enemies are completely different from yesterday. As expected of the elite pilots that were specially assembled to deal with us." Luca said while shooting. At the same time, he also tried his best to use his body's special detection equipment to detect the surrounding situation.
Michelle piloted the Mech and fired a beam of light at a locked MS with a sniper beam gun. Along with the beam of light, the beam shot out. As the beam shot out, sparks appeared on the path of the beam. When it finally hit the enemy, the beam only made a hole in the target's armor and slightly deviated. With Michelle's sniping ability, she did not manage to kill the target directly. Michelle frowned when she saw this scene.
"Damn it, there's too much smoke and flying rocks around. The beam attack is greatly affected and can't effectively snipe the enemy at all." Michelle frowned and said. At the same time, she controlled the right arm of the Mech to instantly retract her weapon. At the same time, she also raised the shield on her left arm at the same time. As soon as she did this, sparks appeared on Michelle's shield. A cannonball also rebounded from the shield and finally landed on the ground. The high temperature scorched the ground, causing a cloud of black smoke to appear. At the same time, more flying rocks splashed out.
Michelle exhaled and raised her weapon again to fire a shot. "If this continues, it won't be good for our situation. Arte must be fuming with anger now and wants to take revenge. But now, if we make a big move, hundreds of cannonballs will immediately be fired at us at the same time. Those fighters will also crash into us as if they don't care about their lives. Once the backpack is damaged, we won't be able to run even if we want to."
"Yes, yes." Luca kept tapping on the keyboard with one hand while using the other hand to control the movement and attack of the Mech. Only when necessary would he use both hands to operate the Mech. He had been analyzing all the data received by the Mech's detection equipment with all his might.
On the other side, Xiao Ran, who had the highest piloting skill among the six of them, had also activated his Spirit Explosion and Mutant state. He was also the only Mech that was still in the air. However, he did not fly too high. Instead, he flew at a low altitude to assist the other five Mechs. The missiles in the four missile launchers had all been used up. In order to reduce the weight of the Mech and get rid of the unnecessary things, the missile launchers had long been abandoned.
At this point in the battle, Xiao Ran also noticed that there seemed to be quite a number of C-grade pilots in Gu Wenjun's Mechs. Originally, there were more than 50 Mechs, but Xiao Ran and the other six had also caused more than 10 Gu Wenjun's Mechs to lose their combat ability. However, among the remaining 40 or so Mechs, Xiao Ran felt that at least seven of them had C-grade piloting skills. Most of them were also at the peak of D-grade.
If one were to compare the piloting skills, Gu Wenjun's combat ability was almost on par with Xiao Ran and the other six. After all, Xiao Ran and the other participants still had skills that they could use. Besides, Xiao Ran himself could not be evaluated as an ordinary C-grade pilot. However, if he used his skills for a long time, his Spirit would not be able to withstand the exhaustion.
However, other than the main force of Gu Wenjun's Mechs, there were at least three fully prepared armored positions behind him. This would equalize the advantage of Xiao Ran and the others. However, if Xiao Ran really went all out, even if the Mechs were to be damaged, the six of them could still turn the situation around with the advantage of their Mechs. However, the Mechs in the sky were too annoying. It was fine if the six Mechs were to move within a certain range. However, once they went beyond that range, whether it was Keegan's Mechs or Gu Wenjun's Mechs in the sky, they all put on a desperate look to push the six of them back, even if it meant risking their lives to crash into them. If they were to really go all out, one of the six of them would definitely be injured.
At this point, Xiao Ran also knew that Gu Wenjun was clearly trying to drag them here until they were too exhausted to continue fighting. Then, he would capture the six Mechs. Although he knew this, Xiao Ran did not want to risk his life to change the current situation. In addition to not wanting the Skeleton Team to be injured, there was also another reason.
Among the Gu Wenjun Mechs that surrounded Xiao Ran and the others, even Xiao Ran did not expect that there was actually one of his own people hiding. And one of the Tigers was actually piloted by Lamba Lar. When Xiao Ran found out, although he was surprised, he was not surprised. After all, Lamba was also a famous trump card of Gu Wenjun's side, although he was not young anymore. However, the name of the Blue Superstar was also spread in the Earth Federation.
For Lamba Lar to appear here, in addition to him being Gu Wenjun's trump card, perhaps Xiaya had asked him to help Xiao Ran and the others depending on the situation after knowing about Guyon's plan towards Xiao Ran and the others. With Xiaya's intelligence, it was normal for him to make such an arrangement. In addition, Xiaya had already decided to start his plan today. Using Xiao Ran and the others to pin down a group of ace level pilots loyal to the Zabi family was also beneficial for Xiaya's actions.
Lan Ba had repeatedly hinted to Xiao Ran to wait, wait, and wait. That was why Xiao Ran was so steady in protecting the six of them instead of using an explosive method to turn the situation around. Other than not wanting the members of Skeleton Squad to get hurt, he was also worried that they might accidentally kill the MS that was piloted by one of their own when the situation was tense and they did not know if the MS was actually piloted by one of their own.
Xiao Ran was also carefully thinking about what Xiaya wanted to do on the way here before the battle. After thinking for a while, he had a lot of ideas. He asked Xiao Ran to let people attack the three Mechs to create the illusion that the Mechs had been destroyed. If it was only to prevent the three Mechs from dying, it was obviously unnecessary. After all, as long as they turned off their communicators, they could create the illusion that they had lost contact.
So, why did Xiaya want to create the illusion that the three Mechs had been killed? In Xiao Ran's opinion, there was only one possibility, and that was to catch them off guard. Naturally, it would not be the Earth Federation's surprise, nor would it be Xiao Ran's surprise. Then, there was only one possibility, and that was the current commander of Gu Wenjun's side, Kamar Zabi's surprise.
After Lamba hinted to him, Xiao Ran immediately understood. This encirclement battle may have been commanded by Xiaya. Otherwise, how could the famous Crimson Comet of Gu Wenjun not appear here when the blue giant star was present. As for Kamar Zabi's' good friend ', Xiaya. It was very possible for him to get the command of this battle under Kamar's trust.
In this case, all the Gu Wenjun pilots who participated in this encirclement battle of attrition were worth pondering. Anyway, if they were not Xiaya's people, then they were people Xiaya wanted to eliminate. If they were people Xiaya wanted to get rid of, then they were people Gu Wenjun felt threatened. In other words, they would be the real trump cards of Gu Wenjun's side. Xiaya was planning to get rid of all these trump cards in one fell swoop.
While Xiao Ran was protecting the five people, he also launched a counterattack against the MS of Gu Wenjun's side. However, when he saw Arte's body changing direction multiple times and rushing towards the encirclement of Guyon's MS, he immediately opened the team communicator. "Arte, come back. Now is not the time! "
"Sir?!"
Arte's somewhat unhappy voice entered Xiao Ran's ears. There was also a hint of confusion and doubt in his voice. It was not that Arte was dissatisfied with Xiao Ran's orders, but he was dissatisfied with being suppressed and unable to launch an effective counterattack. Compared to the others who were firmly waiting for Xiao Ran's orders even though the battle was exhausting, Arte had joined the Skeleton Squad very late. In some areas, he was not as calm as the others.
"These Guyon's MS have our people. Don't be impulsive if you can't distinguish the situation. Continue to wait for them to give you a signal. Now is not the time to personally take risks."
"Huh?" Arte was stunned. Similarly, the surprised voices of the others could be heard from the team communicator. Ozma said calmly, "So that's how it is. No wonder I felt that your combat power in this battle was so strange."
Michelle also laughed out loud. "Hahaha, I knew that Mr. President must have his own plans. So, I can rest assured. Fortunately, there are so many dust and flying rocks here. Otherwise, I might have accidentally killed my own people just now. Sigh, really."
In the distance, a large Gawu-class attack aircraft of Gu Wenjun was constantly flying in a circular loop in a certain area. Earth's Commander-in-Chief, Karma Zabi, Xiaya and Gu Wenjun were watching the battle on Xiao Ran's side in real time through sound and images. The only difference was that Karma was sitting on a chair in the middle of the bridge, while Xiaya was standing about one step behind Karma on the left.
Karma looked at the images of the distant battle. After hearing his subordinate's report, the somewhat immature Karma brushed his hair and said in surprise, "Are the Earth Federation's MS monsters? They can actually persist for so long under the encirclement of so many trump cards of our army without losing a single one. I am now more and more curious about this MS. If we can obtain such an MS and then mass produce it, the Earth Federation's army will not be worth mentioning to us."
"Compared to our army's current MS, this MS can indeed be called a monster." Xiaya's face under the mask smiled slightly. He crossed his arms and said, "But after fighting for so long, the movements of those MS are completely different from before. The consumption of ammunition should have reached the limit. In terms of energy, it can't withstand such a fierce battle. It won't take long for the battle to end."
"Being able to capture these airframes, Odyssey's lack of manners during the battle will be erased." Karma's mouth revealed a disdainful smile and said, "I really don't know what's the point of the Earth Federation spending so many troops here to recapture a resource point that is already useless to us."
"They don't know the real situation of the current resource point. For them, it is very necessary for Odyssey to recapture the resource point." Xiaya laughed and said, "It should be about time. Then, Commander Karma, do you want to personally accept the surrender of those six people as Gu Wenjun's Commander-in-Chief?"
Karma turned his head and glanced at Xiaya. Speaking of which, Karma was really a very simple person. He was frank and easily trusted others. More importantly, he also valued prestige and self-esteem, which was face. Although he had the ability, he was able to become Guyon's Earth Commander-in-Chief because he was the youngest son of the Zabi family.
Karma nodded and smiled. "Hehe, that's good. I want to see if those people who defeated so many of our army's elites and were able to persist for so long under the hands of so many trump cards have three heads and six arms."
Xiaya smiled slightly. After Karma turned around, that smile suddenly became full of an inexplicable feeling. (To be continued.)
